Today, there is an increase in the use of specialty food components worldwide because of the rising demand for energy drinks due to the popularity of sports and fitness activities like aerobics and yoga. In addition, the consumption of ready-to-eat (RTE) food items, which require little preparation and cooking time, is encouraged by rapid urbanization, hectic lifestyles, rising disposable incomes, and the growing tendency of nuclear families. This trend is one of the primary drivers of market expansion.

Additionally, the growing emphasis on health and wellness is fueled by the need for natural, plant-based Specialty Food Ingredients to create high-quality, multipurpose products. To build a green brand image, some manufacturers deliver cutting-edge products with clean-label ingredients, boosting market growth. Additionally, they are concentrating on adopting cutting-edge process technologies to boost scent and flavor, cover up offensive odors and taste defects, and enhance the quality of finished products, all of which are expected to have a favorable market impact.
